End to end, the Cape Cod Canal will always rank among this nation's all-time engineering boondoggles. Outdated before its completion in 1914 and never profitable, the canal created a traffic congested island of stinking rich people.
Happily, it only just spared my own home the same fate. Turn -off- the audio for the next link and squint just a little, you'll see where I live.

I live in the far northern reaches of California, an area larger than the state of Ohio, but with only 2 million folks. I'm a VIP so I couldn't possibly reveal my actual domicile. Just kidding. The real reason I can't say is because when Obama becomes the pres and joins with Pelosi and Reed, they're going to send out the PETA crowd with guns for an open season on conservatives.

I can’t reveal my location because after I moved beyond the Orange Curtain, I relocated to a small mostly White town where my secret identity would be easy to figure out. Nobody in meatspace knows that I am fnord and I prefer to keep it that way.

Yeah, as tempting as it may be to share this city's some-what comical, racist, history, I'm not falling for this one either (Despite having all-ready entrusted a few weirdos on here with such information).

Ritz-eee.
No, I kid. Carrollton's a nice spot. We lived right by, in Coppell, before we came down here.
I do not miss the sound of planes overhead every minute of every fucking day. Also, it's nice to be able to see the night sky again.

You can't do that! Granted Perrilloux did get kicked off the team and I busted a tear myself. However, A few Jagers and a Jeremy Shockey trade later, I'm good as gold.
Look on the bright side, only 245 days until Michael Vick is released. There's that smile!

It's the Biltmore Hotel, as it partly reads in the shrubbery. I figured it would be one of the few landmarks in the city that might be recognized outside the state. We otherwise have no distinctive skyline or generally noteworthy monuments outside of that big hole up north. The Biltmore is roughly walking distance from where I live, during nicer weather (I would not hike up there in August's semi-arid triple digits). Actually, if one enters "Biltmore, Phoenix," in image searches, a much closer building is returned, but it's mostly of exterior beauty shots and other real estate folderol. Phoenix is really just a suburban sprawl that dares to call itself a city.

Actually, it's quite hard to obtain a license in NC, getting harder all the time. Of course, that's only for spics. We hate illegals here, even if they're legal. We hate them so much, we scream at poor little old employees for senators because they are so angry they just can't stand themselves. But if you can't drive, you're golden. So long as you have insurance and citizenship status.

Have you ever seen any of his work?
He does these amorphous, highly polished shapes that suggest organic origin, but whose seamless surfaces simultaneously deny the presence of the human hand. Then, when you approach it to try to get a handle on the shape of the object, you start to realize that you're actually instead looking at the reflection of the world around the object--your space--transformed by the object. Next, you start reevaluating the space around you, much of it previously unnoticed and transparent, noticing the clouds, buildings, and horizon as if they were new to you somehow. Eventually you've had enough, you turn away from the piece, and for the rest of the day you're a little more inclined to not take the environment around you for granted.
Good shit. I'll take that over some hack equestrian statue that nobody cares about any day.
